Dental Bone Grafting
With dental bone grafting, we use surgical techniques to repair or rebuild bones by transferring bone tissue from one area of the mouth to another. This procedure is essential for recreating the bone tissue needed to support structures like dental implants, ensuring long-term oral health and functionality.

When there isn’t enough natural bone in your mouth to support dental implants, dental bone grafting becomes necessary. Several types of dental bone grafts are available, and the best one for you depends on the location and extent of the damage.

What is a dental bone graft?
A dental bone graft is a surgical procedure that involves transferring bone tissue to areas where bone loss has occurred, often to provide a stable foundation for dental implants.
-
How does dental bone graft work?
In the procedure, bone graft material is introduced to the area requiring additional bone. This grafting material can be sourced from your own body, a donor, or created synthetically. As time progresses, the graft integrates with the natural bone, encouraging new growth and fortifying the area.

How long does a dental bone graft take to heal?
Healing time for a dental bone graft can vary but typically takes several months. The new bone needs time to integrate with the existing bone and provide a solid foundation for dental implants or other restorative procedures. Regular follow-up appointments will help ensure proper healing and address any concerns.
